The incident took place near Edgehill Avenue in the East Precinct of Nashville, shortly after 6 a.m. According to police reports, the vehicle involved was stolen from a nurse’s residence associated with a local hospital. Upon impact, the stolen car struck a utility pole, causing wires to hang low over the roadway. The compromised wires were subsequently struck by a semitrailer truck, exacerbating the damage.

AT&T crews have been dispatched to the site to make necessary repairs, and the Nashville Department of Transportation has advised the public to seek alternate routes due to the extended closure period. Police confirmed that the driver exited the vehicle and ran from the scene, leaving the suspect currently at large. Authorities have not yet released a physical description of the individual or provided specific details regarding the suspect's identity. The investigating agency, Metro Nashville Police, has released their resources from the immediate scene, but the investigation remains active. Residents and the public are urged to remain vigilant and report any information regarding the suspect's whereabouts to the appropriate authorities. This is a developing story, and updates may be provided as more information becomes available.
